Contact your health care provider for management of flu symptoms or treatment of any complications. Call them if you have high fever, difficulty breathing, or other severe symptoms.

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

Get rest and drink plenty of fluids.

Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers and wash your hands often.

Stay home from work, school, running errands and visiting friends or relatives when you are sick -- especially those who are in hospitals or nursing homes. This will help prevent spreading your illness to others.
